Chapter 253 253

May is the most beautiful season in Wucheng.

After another year of governance, not only is the public security in Wucheng better than last year, but the evil forces have almost been wiped out. Underground casinos, crackdowns on pornography and illegal publications, and human trafficking have also been eradicated in Wucheng under Secretary Song's high-pressure policy in the past two years. In particular, the pride of the whole village. Jiang Xi was almost tricked into a nightclub, which made the people of Shuibu Town very vigilant about this matter. The people of Jiangjia Village hated Jiang Yueqin's family deeply.

I don't know if Jiang Yueqin's family felt sorry for Jiang Xi. Jiangjia Village divided the tea land twice, and Jiang Yueqin's family did not participate.

The first time, there were not many people from the eldest wife's family who participated. The second time, she wanted to blend in with the crowd and fish in troubled waters, but she didn't dare to stand out and was very scared.

I don't know if it was because she was exposed that Jiang Yueqin was too embarrassed to come back. Jiangjia Village hasn't seen Jiang Yueqin for several years. Logically, she should be married at her age, but she works in such a place. I don't know how she is now.

Because the Wucheng County Government and the County and Town Public Security Bureau are particularly strict in the area of ​​​​criminal forces and human trafficking, they ride police motorcycles to patrol and inspect every few days. Not to mention the casino, even if everyone plays mahjong privately, they are terrified, for fear of being reported and arrested and detained.

For a while, the customs of the whole Wucheng County became pure and simple.

The main reason was that there were too many tourists.

In April, the animated film "White Snake's Journey to Immortality" was released. After watching the animated film, many children in Wucheng and Wujiang City saw the same "Wugong Mountain" as in the local area. When they were eating and watching TV in the evening, they would ask their parents: "Mom, Mom! Look! Wugong Mountain!"

Wugong Tea of ​​Wugong Mountain is now famous in the province. Even children who have never seen Wugong Mountain, after watching the TV series and animated film "White Snake's Journey to Immortality", have also known Wugong Mountain and the famous local tea Wugong Tea. After watching the animated film, they even clamored to go to Wugong Mountain to play.

Therefore, during the May Day holiday, in addition to young tourists, a large number of parents with children also came to Wugong Mountain in Wucheng County.

All those who want to go to Wugong Mountain must first take a bus to Wucheng. Once they arrive in Wucheng, they will be fascinated by this ancient city with quaint fragrance and colorful flowers, especially the various flowers planted last year, which have now grown into bright and beautiful appearances, blooming gracefully in spring. The small willow trees planted by the moat have also sprouted and grown into "thousands of green silk threads". The blooming wild peach blossoms also have a unique wild charm.

More importantly, it is May Day, and the weather is not so cold anymore. In order to win the dragon boat race next month, the moat is now very lively every day. There are several fleets practicing dragon boat rowing in the moat every day. Sometimes they can't help but compete while rowing. Every day, countless local residents and tourists stand on both sides of the moat to cheer for these strong men who practice dragon boat rowing.

In particular, in order to show their strong and powerful bodies to the girls on both sides of the strait, some of these men even took off their shirts to show their strong and strong muscles, which attracted the cheers of the wives and aunts watching on both sides of the strait.

In this enthusiastic atmosphere, even unmarried girls started to scream and cheer for the dragon boat teams from their hometowns.

Among these dragon boat teams, there are dragon boat teams from Yaoba Town, Douba Town, and Liuba Town.

Douba Town and Liuba Town don't know how to attract these tourists to their towns. They can't be as shameless as Jiang Guoding from Yaoba Town and directly intercept people from their hometowns, right?

They can only pay attention to the dragon boat teams, thinking that if the dragon boat teams in their towns can win the first place under the spotlight, who will not know the name of their Douba Town/Liuba Town? When the time comes, they will promote it and there will be no worries about tourists going to their towns.

After arriving at Shuibu Town, the tourists found that not far from the Shuibu Town pier, there was also a team practicing dragon boat racing. Some tourists who didn’t know what was going on asked what was going on. The local residents told the tourists that Wucheng held a dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival, emphasizing that: “The first place gets a prize of 10,000 yuan, the second place gets 8,000 yuan, and the third place gets 5,000 yuan!”

A local also added: “It doesn’t matter if the dragon boat team doesn’t get the top three places, there are still awards for excellence and consolation prizes!”

When talking about the dragon boat race that will be held next month, the locals were all beaming with joy, and they all praised their own dragon boat teams!

Who told them that this is a Jiangnan water town? Especially the various brigades under their Shuibu Town, almost all of them live around the Shahe River. Everyone is good at swimming. Not to mention that everyone can row a boat, they all grew up on boats. When it comes to dragon boat racing, no one is convinced. Everyone thinks that their team will definitely win the championship.

It is the nature of Chinese people to love to join in the hustle and bustle. The tourists' May Day holiday has just begun, and they are already thinking about the Dragon Boat Festival holiday next month and continue to come to Wucheng to play.

The dragon boat team of Linhe Brigade is currently led by Xu Changjiang, the brigade secretary of Linhe Brigade. Half of the dragon boat team are from Xujia Village, and the remaining half are from Jiangjia Village. The remaining places are evenly distributed among Xiaojiangjia Village, Dingjia Village, Shijia Village, Wanjia Village, etc.

The people in these villages have long wanted to play with Jiangjia Village and let the people in Jiangjia Village lead them to prosperity. They are very active in this dragon boat race. The young people sent to race dragon boats competed in their own villages. In the end, all the strong men in the village who are strong and have a say were selected. They wanted to take advantage of this dragon boat race to get closer to the people in Jiangjia Village so that the people in Jiangjia Village can lead them to prosperity!

Didn’t you see that the people in Xujia Village planted tea leaves, but they couldn’t sell a few kilograms? Without sales channels, if they had to sell by themselves, the tea leaves on Huolu Mountain would not have been abandoned for so many years.

In fact, Xu Changjiang didn't want to have more people from Jiangjia Village on the dragon boat. It was just that the people in Jiangjia Village were too busy and couldn't find so many young and strong men.

Most of the young and strong men in Jiangjia Village were like those in Xujia Village. They all went out to work. There were few left in the village. In April, Jiang Liu, who was far away in Beijing, sent back an important news. The Millennium World International Tea Expo would be held in Guangzhou in June. Jiang Guotai was asked to arrange for people to prepare the best tea from Wugong Mountain and tea testing certificates, promotional packaging backgrounds, tea sets, tea artists, etc., to prepare and practice cleanly, submit the registration form to the Guangzhou Tea Expo, obtain the qualification certificate to enter the Tea Expo, and go to Guangzhou in June to participate in the International Tea Expo.

According to Jiang Xi, the Tea Expo is not about just bringing tea and test reports. The most important thing is packaging and promotion.

First, it is best to edit all the clips of "Wugong Mountain's Wugong Tea" in the CCTV TV series and the animated film "The Legend of the White Snake", the scenery of Wugong Mountain, and the scenery of Linhe Brigade, add music, subtitles, and dubbing. It is best to prepare two large TVs and put them in a prominent position in front of the booth of the Tea Expo, and play the promotion repeatedly at a volume that others can hear but not too noisy.

Secondly, the layout of the booth must highlight the theme of "Wugong Tea", and at the same time, it must be antique, simple, and elegant. In short, it must be high-end.

Third, it is best to arrange a tea artist with classical temperament and exquisite tea art, a simple and elegant tea table, an elegant background music with ancient charm, several sets of good tea sets, tea cup washing tools, etc., to perform tea art on the spot, so that tourists and tea merchants can have a place to sit down and taste tea on the spot.

Fourth, the test report on the content of substances in Wugong Tea should be printed out and posted in a conspicuous place so that people passing by can see it at a glance.

In short, it is to carry out packaging in all aspects.

This preparation cannot be completed in a day or two.

First of all, it is the booth design.

Regarding the registration for the Tea Expo, Jiang Wu can entrust Li Ang and Wang Yong to fax or mail the information after getting it, and let Jiang Guotai prepare the information and mail it to help with the registration.

But after the successful registration, they need to take people to the site to see the booth and design the booth. After the design is done, they will ask people to go to the market to buy things for the layout.

Fortunately, Jiang Guotai does not have to worry about the booth design. The person is ready, that is, the designer Lou who studied abroad and came to design the house for Jiang Liu.

Lou is not only good at Chinese design, but also very good at European and American style design, and is even better at combining the two.

In this regard, Lou did a very beautiful job in designing Jiang Liu's four-story western-style building. Jiang Liu's self-built house uses a combination of Chinese and Western designs, and it is perfectly integrated with the surrounding scenery.

Now Jiang Xi's self-built house has become a sight in Linhe Brigade and the most beautiful house in the surrounding area.

After seeing the design drawings and interior decoration drawings of Jiang Xi's house by the floor designer, Jiang Guotai immediately decided that Miaomiao and Yanyan's houses should also be built and decorated according to this design!

Jiang Guotai was generous with the money, so the floor designer simply designed Jiang Miao and Jiang Yanyan's houses together. The three-in-one design is more perfect and each has its own characteristics.

Now the matter of designing the booth in Guangzhou is naturally handed over to this floor designer without having to bother two people.

More importantly, the floor designer himself has experience studying abroad. This World International Tea Expo will not only have many domestic tea merchants participating, but also many foreign merchants will be invited to participate.

In their group, except for Jiang Miao who could speak some English but was not very proficient, the floor designer was not only the booth designer in their team, but also the translator.

Here, less than ten days after Jiang Guotai sent the registration information to the address Jiang Xi gave him, he received the invitation letter and admission notice from the Guangzhou Tea Expo, asking them to bring more detailed information and original certificates to Guangzhou to complete the registration and sign the booth rental agreement and a series of other things.

Jiang Guotai was already too busy with his hometown affairs to leave. He also arranged for his son and daughter-in-law to study abroad this year. Besides his wife and daughter, he only had his sister and brother-in-law. He had very limited people to help him. He wanted to call Jiang's father and Jiang Song back to help him, but then he thought of Jiang's mother, and Jiang Song was nowhere to be found.

As for Jiang Xi and Jiang Bo, Jiang Guotai could forget about calling Jiang Xi back. She said that she was destined not to be in this field in the future, and the meaning was obvious.

As for Jiang Bo, he is now a star. Although there seems to be no new works released from the end of last year to now, Jiang Bo also said during the Chinese New Year that he would take the postgraduate entrance examination for the science department of East China University of Technology. Now he is also very busy and there is no news at all.

The younger generation, Jiang Guoqi's little daughter will take the college entrance examination this year and has not grown up yet. The son of the electrician in the first house has not graduated from college yet, and it is unknown what will happen to him in the future. Besides, the people in the first house may not be willing to come to help him. The son of the former brigade secretary in the second house has never returned after graduating from college. His daughter Jiang Hehua looked smart when she was young, but who knew that she would be more cunning than a needle tip when she grew up. Now the whole family has moved to live in other places, and there is no news about her, which is useless.

In fact, except for the people in the third house, Jiang Guotai himself is not willing to use too many relatives and people outside the third house, which leads to his lack of people. Now he is still young, just waiting for his eldest son and daughter-in-law to return from studying abroad so that they can help him.

Jiang Guotai had no choice but to let his brother- in-law

stay in his hometown, and he took his daughter Jiang Miao, Jiang Hongjun, the building designer and some others to Guangzhou. In fact, he didn't need to go there in person, but Guangzhou was too unfamiliar to them. His sister-in-law was a good person, but she was too honest. His sister was smart, and now she was in charge of some things for him, so she couldn't leave. In addition, the reason why he had to go there in person was that Shenzhen and Guangzhou had been developing better and better in recent years, and the demand for river sand was increasing.

Although he had three large sand factories, he had always been huddled in a small place, and he didn't directly accept orders from other big cities. He didn't know how many times the sand factories had changed hands, so the price of his sand factories was actually very low.

Although he also made money, the middlemen made more money. How could Jiang Guotai be willing to accept this?

This is why he wanted to go to Guangzhou and Shenzhen in person.

He didn't know if Jiang Xi had anyone in Guangzhou, but he still called Jiang Xi before leaving.

When Jiang Xi heard that Jiang Guotai was going to Guangzhou in person, he told Jiang Guotai about the people he knew in Guangzhou and said, "Uncle, I have met two editors in Guangzhou because of my writing and submission over the years. One is my direct editor, and the other is Director Li Ang, the founder of "Wuxia" magazine. Director Li has now been promoted to the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department in charge of the city's cultural and creative industries. He is also in charge of the Tea Expo that you are going to this time. The news about the Tea Expo was given to me by Director Li."

The International Tea Expo belongs to the category of cultural industry, which happens to be under the jurisdiction of Director Li. This is why Jiang Xi was able to get first-hand information so quickly.

Jiang Wu said: "The only person I have had direct contact with is my editor Wang Yong, who has now been promoted to director of the Film and Television Copyright Department. I can help you say hello to Brother Yong, but I don't know if it will be helpful for you to open up the market over there. You need to discover all this on your own."

Jiang Wu's relationship with Wang Yong over the years has been extremely simple, and it is precisely because of this simple relationship that Jiang Wu and Wang Yong have an extremely good relationship.

After all, Jiang Wu was the first author Wang Yong accepted. He had just finished his internship and wanted to become a regular employee, but the magazine was going to be revoked. Later, not only did Jiang Wu suffer from the editing, but even his promotion to the director of the film and television copyright department was closely related to Jiang Wu.

So even though he and Jiang Wu had hardly met again in these years, their contact had never stopped. Even though his relationship had been transferred to the copyright department, he had never let go of Jiang Wu, the cash cow, and he had always been the editor-in-chief of Jiang Wu in these years.

His feelings for Jiang Wu were also extremely special.

Jiang Guotai always thought that Jiang Xi got the information from his classmates at Peking University. He never imagined that Jiang Xi actually had such connections in Guangzhou.

Although Jiang Wu didn't directly say how good her relationship with Director Wang and Director Li was, she was able to tell him about this relationship, so the relationship must be extraordinary, otherwise she wouldn't have had to say this.

After Jiang Wu hung up the phone with Jiang Guotai, she called Wang Yong and Director Li. Jiang Wu

was much more casual when talking to Wang Yong, always calling him Brother Yong, and the relationship between the two was no different from that of brother and sister.

On the contrary, he was very polite to Director Li who had been promoted to the Municipal Party Committee. In fact, Director Li had a very high favorable impression on Jiang Xi. It could be said that his promotion to the municipal level was inseparable from the influence that Jiang Xi had brought to the "Martial Arts" magazine. As for Jiang Xi's statement that his uncle was going to participate in the World Tea Expo, he naturally knew about it. Jiang Xi had told Wang Yong about this at the time and asked him to pay attention to it. When he got the news, he immediately called Wang Yong and asked Wang Yong to inform Jiang Xi.

Even though Li Ang has been promoted to the city, he has always been concerned about Jiang Guotai's affairs. Although Li Ang has been promoted to the city, he is still the direct leader of the cultural industry. When Jiang Guotai goes to participate in the World International Tea Expo, he must deal with Director Li. The difference between having this relationship and not having this relationship at the Tea Expo is a world of difference.

After communicating with Wang Yong and Director Li and asking for their consent, Jiang Guotai gave Wang Yong and Director Li's private mobile phone numbers to Jiang Guotai, and told Jiang Guotai that he had contacted Director Wang and Director Li in Guangzhou, and someone would pick them up at the airport when they arrived.

After entering the millennium, people's ways of communicating are no longer as troublesome as before 1997 and 1998. People including Wang Yong, Li Chu, and Jiang Guotai all have mobile phones, which makes communication much more convenient. Only Jiang Wu is fully focused on studying, typing, and cross-column, and has a fixed phone with fixed hours, so she did not buy herself a mobile phone.

However, Jiang Wu is now considering buying herself a mobile phone.

After Jiang Guotai hung up the phone, he was even more emotional.

He repeatedly thought that he had overestimated Jiang Wu's power. After all, she was able to persuade the director of CCTV to come down to promote her hometown when she was a student. How dare he underestimate her? But the power she showed time and time again still far exceeded his expectations.

He thought her power was limited to Beijing, but he didn't expect that she actually knew someone in Guangzhou, and that she was a member of the municipal party committee.

The other party was able to pick them up at the airport because of Jiang Wu, which was no ordinary relationship.

The other party valued Jiang Wu so much, of course, not only because Jiang Wu had brought huge profits to Wuxia Magazine in recent years, and because Li Chu himself had risen from the edge of the magazine's closure to the municipal party committee, but also because of the ability Jiang Wu himself had demonstrated in Beijing.

After the Mingqian tea picking this year, Jiang Wu sent gifts not only to Director Li in Beijing, but also to professors and teachers at Beijing University. She also sent gifts to Wang Yong, Director Li, and Editor-in-Chief Bao in Guangzhou. She sent them all local specialties from her hometown. Since she sent Wugong Tea, she certainly would not forget the brochure about Wugong Tea, which contains information about how CCTV promoted Wugong Tea. Although it does not specifically state how CCTV knew about Wugong Tea and how it filmed and promoted Wugong Tea, CCTV's promotion and promotion of Wugong Tea is real. Sometimes a

small move from above is enough to make the local officials below treat it with countless times more, not to mention that it was such a big thing that was directly promoted by CCTV.

Why is Wucheng so lively this year, and why is Wugong Tea from Wugong Mountain so popular? Isn't it because Wugong Tea has become a provincial key policy support project? Jiang Guotai's many applications for "Wugong Tea" have been passed smoothly, and he basically didn't encounter any bottlenecks.

This is the huge impact of the top on the bottom.

Such an impact also affected Li Ang, who was far away in Guangzhou.

Especially after Jiang Guotai sent more detailed information to Guangzhou, as the highest person in charge of the cultural industry in the Guangzhou government, Li Ang also saw the more comprehensive information sent by Jiang Guotai, and also knew the extent to which CCTV supported the economic promotion of Jiang Gui’s hometown. Not only a self-made TV series, but also a lot of promotional content about Wugong Tea in Jiang Gui’s hometown in this year’s animated film, which was very unusual. The above

is why Li Ang attaches so much importance to Jiang Gui, and when Jiang Gui called to ask for help, he did not explicitly say that he would help, but he said that he would arrange someone to pick up Jiang Guotai and his team.

After reading the information sent by Jiang Guotai, he immediately called to arrange for Jiang Guotai and his team to have one of the best booths at the Tea Expo.

Jiang Hongjun is considered a relatively calm person in the village, but it was his first time to go out to another big city, so he was a little nervous. But because Jiang Guotai was sitting there calmly, he was relatively stable.

The building designer who had studied abroad was also dressed in a suit and tie, with an elite style. Standing next to Jiang Guotai, he raised the style of Jiang Guotai and his group.

When Jiang Guotai was waiting at the airport, he turned around and saw the sharp contrast between the building designer and Jiang Hongjun, who were carrying large and small bags and looked rustic, like village kids who went to the city to work. He felt that it was not good, so he prepared to get off the plane. The first thing he did was to change the clothes of these guys from head to toe.

In Jiang Guotai's words, they had to be packaged first.
